It feels like fall here in TN, and today is TSQ Royal Digi Challenge. This months challenge is fall digi's. for my project for today I made this cute card below. The digi I used is from Meljens Designs When I saw this digi I knew he would fit perfectly on the paper I bought over at Archievers its from Bo Bunny. I love this paper it is soo fall festive perfect for cards or layouts. I colored the cute scaracrow with my copic markers, I fussy cut him out, made a banner from My Favorite Things die, used My Creative Time Piles of Smiles for the stamped sentiment and the leaves cut from her die with that stamp set. I really did not have to do much to the card the background came like this on the paper from Bo Bunny.

Hope you are having a wonderful Friday, I thought I would share another project I made. Its called a Tussie Mussie, I have seen people make these cute Tussie Mussie and they are adorable. I thought I would give it a try they are easy peasy to make. Below is the one I made, I used paper from K&Companyone of the Halloween collections its a 12x12, added some lace on rim & bottom (I picked up at Hobby Lobby yesterday they had a great sale on ribbon I bought a few to stock up). Recollections swirled gems, and flowers and black flower & black spray is from Hobby Lobby black spider is from K&Company and of course saving the best for last the Halloween vintage image is from Graphic 45 Haunting Collection. I love love love love their paper, I fussy cut the moon and put above the Happy Haunting sign to make it look like he is rising up. The web is a sticker from Memory Makers along with the stars. I used tuille so it can be hung up. I crimped some paper to stick inside my Tussie Mussie.

Well I hope you like my project for today, I plan on making some more of these, they are fun to make. They are great to give as gifts to stick little goodies in there, and people can use them over and over again. Holidays are comming up I will try to make a few up for Christmas.

Welcome back to another TSQ Feature Designer, today is my day as Featured Designer.

For my post today I made a Thank You card for a relative who had us over for breakfast last weekend, it was very delicious. I want to thank her for her hospitality.

I used TSQ stamp set Royal Garden, for the stamped sentiment. The card is made up of Recollection washi tape I had bought from Michaels. The card measures 6x6 on craft card stock from Paper Trey Ink. I put flower washing tape on the outside of the card, the banner on the card is also washi tape I fussy cut the banner on the washi tape. I also used my Cricut Imagine Country Carnival cartridge to make the square scallop image with the flowers and the bird on it. The butterfly is also cut from Country Carnival. I used my My Favorite Things die for the oval shape and the scalloped cut. The paper used on these cut outs were also from Country Carnival. I used Michaels Recollection swirl pearls ( I love these pearls ) I also used some the pearls on some of the flowers, and the corners of the image. I also put some Tim Holtz Distress Vintage ink on the edges.

I put some washi tape on the inside of the card in the picture below. I left that blank so I can put in there a little note.

Hey Crafty Friends, hope all is well with you. Today is a special day for someone in our family, its my daughter's birthday she will be 17. I am currently out of town but will be home later on today to help her celebrate. She came 10 years later after my last son was born. I cant believe how fast time has flown by she has kept us on our toes. She was a good baby, I would love to dress her up in cute dresses when she was little. She did not like dolls she was afraid of them but she always loved stuffed animals her favorit was her pooh bear which I still have. I also have a few of baby dresses I can't give them away. This is a picture of her when she was a baby I love this picture she had the biggest brown eyes. She looks soo cute with her fooler in her mouth.

Time has flown by, I cant believe how fast she has grown up, she is a typical teenager ready to go and concqure the world.

Hope you are having a wonderful fall day. It is amazing how this year has flown by, today I am TSQ Featured Designer today. For my project today I made a cute get well card, I used my Gypsy to make this card, I used the Serenade cartridge & the back ground flower paper is from Lori's Garden I printed out on my Imagine. ( I am trying to make a point to use my Imagine more.) I used the Royal Pain stamp set for the stamped sentiment. I inked the edges with brown ink, cut a banner by hand to put the stamped sentiment. I also had a stamp with writing on it that I stamped on the bird. I am thinking about adding some bling swirls to cage.

Happy Monday,
Hope you had a great weekend? I sure did and I the weekends go buy so fast. You can see fall is starting to creep in. I need to make a stock pile of birthday cards you always need one. I made a real simple birthday card for my brother in law. I thought I would use my Cricut Imagine I dont use it much and I think the ink is drying out. I had replaced it with some fresh ink and printed out this cute little fellow from the Imagine More Cricut cartridge. I used some paper from Simple Stories 6x6 Celebrate Good Times. This paper pad is a must have for a quick birthday card.

I decorated the inside of the card and used a stamped sentiment from My Creative Creative stamp Celebrate Good Times.
